Detroit Tigers Make Announcement on Closer Will Vest After Royals Series
Detroit Tigers Make Announcement on Closer Will Vest After Royals Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers continued their winning ways on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over the rival Kansas City Royals, their second win in three games against manager Matt Quatraro's team. Advertisement The Tigers got two hits from Riley Greene and a masterful pitching performance yet again from last year's AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal en route to the win. Now 39-21 with the best record in the American League, Detroit's ascent to the top of the Majors has been a wonder to behold. Following the series, Detroit made an announcement on a former Rule 5 draft pick who has become the Tigers' de facto closer, helping to shore up a bullpen tasked with shutting the door on opposing teams.

"Will Vest is your Tigers @PrimitivPerform Reliever of the Month for May," they added. Advertisement Vest compiled a 1.29 earned-run average in 14 innings of work with the Tigers during last month's games. The 29-year-old native of Houston added a 1.14 WHIP and 15 strikeouts with just four walks during the month as the Tigers finished with the best record in Major League Baseball for the season heading into June. Vest was selected by the Seattle Mariners with the 12th pick in the 2020 Rule 5 draft out of the Tigers' organization on Dec. 10, 2020. He was later returned to the Tigers after he was designated by the Mariners for assignment and has become a key part of the Tigers' pitching staff at age 29.

Detroit Tigers Make Historic Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson Announcement
Detroit Tigers Make Historic Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers improved their Major League Baseball best record to 39-21 on the season Sunday with a 1-0 road win over the Kansas City Royals. Advertisement The Tigers took two of three games from their AL Central rivals one series removed from a three-game sweep against the San Francisco Giants. Detroit got two hits from rising star outfielder Riley Greene against Kansas City as Greene continued his hot start to the season. Greene's strong game put him in elite company with teammate Spencer Torkelson, making him the subject of a historic post on Sunday. Riley Greene smacks a single against the Royals on June 1 at Kauffmann Stadium. © Denny Medley-Imagn Images "They're the two best friends that anybody could have," the Tigers' X account wrote as they shared the news. "Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene enter June as the only set of teammates in the AL to both have 13+ homers and 40+ RBI," the page wrote. Advertisement "It's the first time in franchise history we've had two players with 13+ HR at the start of June." Greene is hitting .271 on the season while Torkelsen is hitting .235. Greene's production is perhaps more on the expected side than Torkelson's after the Detroit first baseman was listed as a potential cut casualty heading into the 2025 season. Torkelson's bounce back year has given Detroit's lineup a much needed boost heading toward July 15's MLB All-Star Game in at Truist Park in Atlanta. The Tigers will hit the road for a four-game set against the Chicago White Sox starting Monday at 7:40 p.m., with Jack Flaherty taking the hill against White Sox hurler Jonathan Cannon.
